Pacers Welcome The Heat To The Fieldhouse

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Indiana Pacers have had a day off to recover from their final back-to-back-to-back of the season as they get ready to face the Miami Heat tonight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Pacers are coming off an impressive 125-104 victory Saturday night in Milwaukee to improve to 28-and-19 on the year.

For Miami, tonight's game is the back end of a back-to-back. The Heat had a four-game winning streak snapped in Oklahoma City last night as they fell to the Thunder 103-87. They still have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference at 35-and-12.

Miami is going for a season-series sweep of the Pacers this evening. The first two matchups were comfortable Miami victories with the Heat winning 118-83 January fourth in Miami and 105-90 on Valentine's Day in Indianapolis. Game three went to overtime with Dwyane Wade's jumper with one-tenth of a second left in the extra session giving the Heat a 93-91 win at American Airlines Arena.
